Abstract

Les distributeurs de boissons tres chers dans le passe, utilisant des bouteilles de gaz carbonique relativement grandes et des conteneurs de sirop relativement grands, ce qui rendait leur usage dans des etablissements de petit volume tels que des habitations, peu pratique. En outre, les conteneurs de sirop utilises dans l'appareil de distribution de boisson a melange ulterieur, comprenaient des accouplements mecaniques. Ce dispositif comprend un conteneur de sirop liquide (22) ayant des portions de paroi facilement penetrables amenagees dans des oreilles ou protuberances creuses s'etendant lateralement (38, 39) qui communiquent avec l'interieur du conteneur. Le conteneur (22) est dispose sur des pointes de percage (27, 28) positionnees dans des emboitements (35) amenages dans un dispositif de distribution de boisson (10). Les protuberances laterales (38, 39) servent de dispositif de support pour supporter le conteneur (22) et forment aussi des zones au travers desquelles les pointes de percage (27, 28) assurent l'alimentation en gaz sous pression du conteneur et soutirent du sirop liquide du conteneur pour le melanger au liquide carbonate.
